Well, that only leaves the submarine program, which has been in development for a long time, but hasn't made it through Congress and is probably still a couple of years away from actually being active. Or you could be referring to Trump's request for a "mini-nuke," which as I have already stated, is a fantasy.

Either way, military projects very seldom, if ever, are the brainchild of the Executive Branch. And Trump is no exception, being one of, if not the least knowledgeable executive we have ever had. Which still leaves us with Trump has not even attempted to be tough on Russia, much less produced any results. Which you reinforced quite nicely.

Top Voting Machine Vendor Admits It Installed Remote-Access Software on Systems Sold to States
Remote-access software and modems on election equipment 'is the worst decision for security short of leaving ballot boxes on a Moscow street corner.'

Motherboard

Quote:
The nation's top voting machine maker has admitted in a letter to a federal lawmaker that the company installed remote-access software on election-management systems it sold over a period of six years, raising questions about the security of those systems and the integrity of elections that were conducted with them.

In a letter sent to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) in April and obtained recently by Motherboard, Election Systems and Software acknowledged that it had "provided pcAnywhere remote connection software … to a small number of customers between 2000 and 2006," which was installed on the election-management system ES&S sold them.

The statement contradicts what the company told me and fact checkers for a story I wrote for the New York Times in February. At that time, a spokesperson said ES&S had never installed pcAnywhere on any election system it sold. "None of the employees, … including long-tenured employees, has any knowledge that our voting systems have ever been sold with remote-access software," the spokesperson said....
No. Fricking. Comment.


It’s ok though. Donnie 2Scoops said Russia is no longer targeting US elections.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia/asked-if-russia-still-targeting-u-s-trump-says-no-idUSKBN1K82AV

Oh and he’s totally considering the scenario of allowing Russia to openly interrogate US citizens.


http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/397701-white-house-trump-open-to-russia-questioning-us-citizens

It’s cool he’s got it covered because he’s a 2^256D chess master...or an idiot, or a pussy, or compromised by Putin. Or a combination of the 3.

No. It's not the submarine program either. Low-yield atomic weapons. I said that earlier.

A small number of customers between 2000-2006? I knew it! The Russians colluded with Bush to beat Kerry!

I think you should go in a submarine Vic...and when you go down there tell us if you can see Russia from the bottom of the ocean.

Well I mean, they don't put portholes on submarines, contrary to a fairly funny joke.

You can pick up their coolant pump noise frequencies though. We spy on them with our subs, they spy on us with theirs. Sometimes our subs play tag. Other times they play croquet.

Vic, holy crap, just straight up say that you aren't willing to take five seconds to research what Trump is actually doing, jeez.

Quote:
In the newly released Nuclear Posture Review, the Trump administration signaled it is developing a strategy in which low-yield nuclear war heads will be attached to ballistic missiles that could be launched by submarines and delivered thousands of miles away.

While the 2018 NPR says that there are no plans to increase the nuclear stockpile, this strategy in effect could increase the number of low-yield nuclear weapons. Cirincione said one possibility in fitting a low-yield warhead to a ballistic missile would involve the adaptation of Hydrogen bombs. Those bombs are built with two interrelated components: one creates an atomic explosion which in turn triggers a load of hydrogen fuel that greatly increases the magnitude of the explosion.

Because "the submarine program" couldn't mean a million other things even vaguely related to submarines.

Well when it comes to nuclear programs the only 3 viable ones are the subs (most likely) the planes (2nd) and the silos (3rd). Surface ships carry them but they would never launch one unless they were literally The Last Ship which was a stupid show.

You are the only one here spewing nonsense, as usual. How about the news that the US is actually considering Russia's request to interview US citizens? That kind of stupidity is something you would expect from nausi, not the actual US gov't. But its Trump and Russia, so anything goes.

Libs are again spreading “anonymous sources” facts I don't like about “muh Russia”. THis time that Trump knew Putin personally ordered the meddling.

Actually trying to spin “trump is a russian plant” into something.

Three things

except
1.) obama knew about it two years before trump threw his hat in the ring.

2.) if obama is weak minded enough to be talked out of his conviction, who is the idiot?

3.) anyone with $40 can join the NRA... it's not a secret society.

gun rights advocates typically support pro gun candidates...
not sure why you seemed to be confused and bewildered by this.

Looks like its going to be another fun filled day as Trump continues to throw temper tantrums and swing wildly (and inaccurately, of course) at people not responsible for his failed European trip.
